The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development in liaison with the Ministry of Health is warning the public about an imminent outbreak of the deadly disease Bird Flu.

This has been disclosed in a press statement signed by Secretary for Agriculture Erica Maganga and Chief of Health Services, Dr. Charles Mwansambo.
